I'd be all over this. I'd give him the biggest deal in UDFA history, if possible.

That's reasonable given his probably talent and outlook for success but you can only spend so much on one unit. We have a good tackle and a very good to better one; a very good or better C and G; and a very serviceable to better G.

Do we need to spend a lot of resources on a G when we have a very good OL already?

Don't forget Carr, Claiborne, Hardy, and Dez needing to be addressed. Here there really is only so much pie to go around.

Having said that he is likely to be a very good G. He's just likely to be expensive to acquire.

Just sign him and let Stephen pay him under the table. Make it work!

You have the potential to be dominant at a position group for a decade. One of the most important position groups. This would be like a crazy fairy tale to land Gregory and Collins in one offseason

Breaking: I've been notified by representatives of OT La'el Collins that his paternity test results were negative. Specifically, Collins is not the father of Brittney Mills' child and Collins passed A polygraph test administered by an independent investigator in connection with Mills' case.

terrible bad luck for la'el.

His lawyer says he is cleared. It only counts when the police say you are cleared.

 

[DFWJC]

I think there are too many other teams that want him that have more cash.

The cash (unless you mean longer term) wouldn't be the issue, but the opportunity sure would be.

Exactly. This news site was jumping the gun, so to speak.
It's clear that he wasn't the shooter. That doesn't fully clear him yet.
Sure hope the guy is cleared though.

er: 5194"]Last year Lewan was taken at #11. He got a contract for 4 years and about 12M. A 7th round pick will get about 2M in his first 4 years. That's 10M that he could gain by re-entering the draft.[/quote]I think you mean, terrible luck, for that baby, who doesn't have a mommy now.

If he has a confirmable alibi and has no motive then it is what it is.

?

The baby died and he is not the father.

 

[TheCount]

I like that you can be "allegedly" cleared of a crime.

Will people please stop talking like a guy like La'el Collins couldn't win a starting job over Doug Free and/or Ronald Leary?

I mean, cmon.

I guess I could say "perceived opportunity ". Im one that thinks he he could start.
Hell, there's some teams that he could eventually even start at LT....which is more lucrative

I thought I heard, the baby lived.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

No reason why he shouldn't be signed if he wants to come.... no reason....NO REASON.

Baby was delivered and died afterwards.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

We have reports that we have interest. If we don't sign him it doesn't mean we didn't try.

We wouldn't hand him a starting job whereas other locations likely would. He would have to compete for a spot here. Depend on his personality and desire really. I heard he wanted to go to a contender. His salary is already predetermined.
